Hey guys, I know I' ve been gone for a long time (almost a year) but I was back in Guayaquil longer than planned now Im in Miami to finish my MD, so before I move on just let me say It's a pleasure reading your Posts again, you have no idea how much more of a supporter ecuas living outside Ecuador are compared to our countrymen back home. Anyway, I just wanted to get your opinions on whats going on with our NT, what do you guys make of Rueda, how skrewed are we without Valencia, will he comeback at the same level? will Mendez play in the NT again? do we really need him? we lost to Venezuela again thats 4 in a row, who are your fave 22-23 for the NT. pretty much just the National Team period.
Oh yeah that, not to make excuses but Vizuete really is missing quite a few starters in that team, I know for a fact that Cazare (river plate kid) is not there same for Augusto Batioja and Edson Montano since them both are in Europe with their clubs.
In South America, not too well. I would say sixth or seventh at this moment. We are still a work in progress.
Re: Ecuador vs Venezuela November 17, 2010 The groups for the 2011 Copa America are being decided later on today. What's you opinions on hard teams and teams we would love to be matched up against? BTW thiers a chance Japan might face us!!!
hoy se definen los grps de copa america los unicos rivales que NO pueden quedar con Ecuador son japon y mexico bombo #4 ver copa america foro: 2PM TODAY LIVE COVERAGE OF THE DRAW
FORO DE COPA America: https://www.bigsoccer.com/forum/showthread.php?p=22193437#post22193437 grp de la muerte? ecuador seeded on grp B
every group is tough, there's no grupo de la muerte in South America now a days. and it gets harder to predict outcomes
7 months before Copa America, I think it's plenty of time for us to assemble a decent squad. I like what we have.
I agree with that.....and everyone wants to do well!! did you get la convocotaria for the game vs Venezuela?
I would have Paraguay over Chile but hey thats just me, anyway, if we do ok in a couple of friendlies and make it at least past the second round in Copa America we might crack the top 30s again.
well in reply to the person who started the thread I think the following are potential candidates for copa America. GK- Maximo Banguera Dario Bone Danny Cabezas Manuel Mendoza LB Walter Ayovi Geovanny Nazareno RB Neicer Reasco Miguel Ibarra CB Norberto Araujo Isaac Mina Jorge Guagua Jairo Campos Jefferson Hurtado Eduardo Morante RWM Antonio Valencia Joao Rojas Joffre Guerron Juan Cazares LWM Jefferson Montero Fernando Guerrero Michael Arroyo CM/AMC Edison Mendez Christian Noboa David Quiroz Christian Lara Fernando Saritama Miller Bolanos Segundo Castillo Michael Quinonez Armando Wila Holger Matamoros Augusto Batioja FW Christian Benitez Jaime Ayovi Felipe Caicedo Felix Borja Christian Suarez Carlos Tenorio If I had to narrow it down to 23 GK- Maximo Banguera RB- Neicer Reasco CB- Norberto Araujo CB- Isaac Mina LB- Walter Ayovi RM- Antonio Valencia CM- Edison Mendez CM- David Quiroz LM- Jefferson Montero FW- Christian Benitez FW- Jaime Ayovi S1- Danny Cabezas S2- Geovanny Nazareno S3- Jorge Guagua S4- Joao Rojas S5- Michal Arroyo S6- Fernando Guerrero S7- Christian Noboa S8- Felipe Caicedo S9- Felix Borja Reserves Saritama, Bolanos, Casarez oh and idk who asked me for my age but my real age is 19
the top keepers we'll probably have next season are Banguera, Cabezas, Elizaga, Klimowicz, and possibly Dominguez. Adrian Bone isnt starting over Klimowicz in Chiquito he made a huge mistake going there he'll probably end up disappearing. From what I've seen so far I think Rueda list can contain/should contain any one of these namesfrom defense and up) Eduardo Morante Jorge Guagua Jairo Campos Jefferson Hurtado Isaac Mina Gio Nazareno Juan Paredes Walter Ayovi Miguel Ibarra (who's coming to Liga and almost certainly will get back to a competitive level) Antonio Valencia Edison Mendez Michael Arroyo Cristian Noboa Segundo Castillo Joffre Guerron Luis F Saritama Jefferson Montero Michael J Quinonez David Quiroz Fernando Guerrero Miller Bolanos Pedro Quinonez Cristian Benitez Felipe Caicedo Jaime Ayovi Joao Rojas Marlon De Jesus Felix Borja Cristian Suarez (shouldn't be on the NT but will probably be considered) Note: I didn't name any promising players that might sprout in the 2011 campeonato or any promising players period. I strictly named people who deserve to be in the NT because they had good seasons in their respective clubs or are labeled the "stars" of the NT like Noboa, Valencia, etc. Of course there are exceptions in my list such as Borja and Cristian Suarez who have a lot more to prove even at club team level.
I agree with you on everything exept pedro quinonez, I think he is nowhere near David Quiroz and Segundo Castillo who play in his position, who knows I might even take Hidalgo over him. oh and I 4 got to include Paredes he is a great player as a midfielder but I hate to see him as a right back.
I would probably too but he is not yet ecuadorian + I believe Borja could explode all his full potential in the mex league.. I remember he did good in rturning Mainz to 1st division I think he scored 16-18 goals that season.
I agree...just because he is playing in Argentina doesnt mean he deserves a call up. The guy has not scored with them and he is largely used as a reserve. I would prefer guys who are performing well and are Ecuadorean. I think you should resort to playing naturalized guys only as a last resort. There are guys who are playing well. Benitez, Caicedo, de Jesus, Rojas will do well in Mexico.
not in Norberto araujo's case, it will be a huge mistake not calling him up for copa america. + Bieler doesn't feel comfortable with Racing if he came back to LDU hell be beast again. I must admit though I would love to have Hernan Barcos naturalized.
Araujo, Bieler and Barcos? bro are you smoking some horse pills? GTFO. Might as well call ourselves Argentina, right?
I've never played up the nationalization thing...In my opinion, it's no big deal. Honestly, I'd rather have Bieler right now (if he was nationalized this instant) instead of Borja who hasn't played a competitive season for like 2 years. It's an obvious choice.
